One of the most important simple functions we use when we work on PHP is the Time and Date functions. It performs two things. The Time () function being responsible for the assignment of each date and time, a number string that is based in seconds. The Date () function meanwhile, is responsible in formatting this number string into a human friendly display. There are also other important functions worth mentioning. The Mktime () function is utilized to generate artificially the time stamp for a certain date and time. It has the same function as the time() but its different because this is used for a particular date not necessarily the present day. In counting down function, there is a simple script that can be used , it called Countdown script.
